First day with no insurance

Let me start this by saying, we have some dull steak knives and we've been saving these one's we got for our wedding (i know 7 years almost is probably a little long to not use them) So jim decided to bust one out and use it the other day. He was amazed. Said it cut like "butta" . So i'm stading in the kitchen cutting up some chicken for myself for dinner. Using this new knife, when all of a sudden.....BAMMMMM I SLICE INTO MY FINGER. BLOOD GOES PLATTERING EVERYWHERE!!!AAAHAHHHAHAHAHHAH. It was horrifying. i yelled for Jim to get a bandaid and i started running it under water quickly. He hands me a bandaid and a towell and i'm thinking to myself. It's probably not as bad as it feels. So i go to put a bandaid on it and blood just starts pouring out of my finger. Onto plan B. I get 2 bandaids and try again. NOPE . Plan c. 2 big gauze pads and some medical tape. Good to go. Now i need to go clean up the blood. Can you believe this happens on the first day with no insurance. Unbeleiveable

my stomach is turning...shudder.

And when you think about it, butter doesn't cut easily at all...

You know! I just discovered that chugging rootbeer while reading gorrie stories keeps my stomach calm!

Alright, you're only allowed to use plastic knives until you get insurance. Sorry, that's the rule. ;)
